A gentle- man from Glenelg told us on Monday last that he believes the scale here is all right, et en in the weighing of a‘ sheep or lamb. As a basis of his her lief he referred to the sensative na-1 ture of the scales at Edge Hill which respolitletl to the weight of a large nail when they were placed in posi- tion. He believes them to be accur- ate in weighing even a few pounds, and the same gentleman told us that. recently ten lambs were weighed at Edge Hill and then jolted to Durham in a lumber waggon and again weigh- eil on the town scales losing only five pounds. This was sufficient guaran- tee to him of the correctness of our scales. Some time ago we made en- quiry of the Inspector of Weights and Measures regarding the accuracy of the scales in Question and were informed that they were perfectly correct. Information from another source goes to show that large plat- form scales may be materially afiect-1 ml by the direction and condition of the wind For instance :â€"'A scale, exposed to a heavy wind from beneath will cause‘it to weigh light while a similar wind lorced in from above will increase the weight. In view of this the weigher under such .con- «litions here will always have the ad- vantage, as the scales are so placed that no wind can afiect them from beneath. Our opinion was. and still is, that a properly adjusted platlorm scale should weigh snficiontly ac- curateiy all weights, great or small. and as our scales are under the sup. ervision oi the Inspector of Weights and, Measures, we believe they are all right, and for the past two or three years we have hoard only the one complaint. which ,9“ to M NMfifisMnflh DURHAM CH RONICLE.

A Kansas minister who has an ex- traordinary amount of good sense in his make-up, while soliciting sub- scriptions for the church said : " I do not want any to contribute who have not paid their subscription to the home paper, for the local paper needs money a great deal more than the heathen.” BAPTIST. On Thursday evening of last week an interesting add1ess was delivered in the Baptist church by Rev. Mr. Bennett, of Herckimer street church in the City of Hamilton. The ad- dress was descriptive of a trip down the St. Lawrence from Montreal to Ste. Anne de Beaupre, and was given in a very entertaining man- ner clothed in much imagery and some highly artistic flights of rhe- toric. especially in his description of the Montmorencie Falls, and the natural beauty of the ancient capital. To those who had ever the pleasure of going over the ground described the address must have been refreshing and personally on this account we enjoyed it very much. His descriptive touches of Nova Scotia, and the land of Evange- line were quite interesting and to relieve the montony incident to an ordinary lecture, Mr. Bennett had the wisdom to interSperse it largely with appropriate stories and witty sayings. The attendance was fair and appreciative. Mr. J. L. Brown was in the chair. FIGs.-6 lbs. new figs for 25¢ at Parker’s.

Some are certainly not, and little things, they may regard as manliness, are taken stock of by those who know something of human nature. A per- son seldom rises above his ideals, and the boy who mOpes about with- out any fixed purpose will never rise high enough to be worth taking notice of. This may be a homespun statement, but it’s true, nevertheless and more than that, we regret to be- lieve it’s a local hit. Two doz. new caperines. just arc rived, at The Big Store. METHODIST.
